The bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5" (5x114.3mm) and the rim size for the US is 16x6J with 50mm offset. The stock tire size is 205/60R16. In Canada, there is a 15x6J steel wheel with the same bolt pattern and offset. The stock tire size for the 15" wheel is 195/65R15. The diameter of the center hole on the stock wheels is a bit over 60mm.

so I have the bolt pattern off set, all I need to find out is the max rim size we can put on the SX4. the tire size I hear is 225/45/18 that should be close to 205/60R16 for the speed not to change that much once again thanks guys for the replies.

Hi everybody, first post, first Suzuki (car that is) and first question:

Just bought an '08 Crossover and can't figure out why a 17" wheel is not offered as an option. Anybody know why? Is it because the engineers thought that, because it's all-wheel drive, the ride would be a little bit harsher than most people would be comfortable with?

you could always go to www.discounttires.com or the www.tirerack.com and check under there wheel section, but neither really have much listed for the Suzuki line up. :confuse: I'd kinda like to put a set of Chrome wheels on mine.

I had a close encounter with a curb last week. Blew out the sidewall of my front right tire. Hobbled to the nearest tire place, Tires Plus. I have only 15000 miles on my 2008 crossover. Since I need a tire immediately and they didn't have my original tires in stock, I got firestone affinity 205 60 r16. I ended up buying 4 (they were running a special). I have been driving on these tires for about 4 days and noticed the loud tire/road noises. Could it be that I didn't buy high performance tires? Should I take it back and have them check it? I have never noticed this noise on my OE tires. Any suggestions?
